I'm not sure if I'm putting this post in the correct location, so please move if needed.
I've gotten permission from the wife to do a lean-to addition on the side of my shop. I'm struggling with the design portion of what would be easiest and look best in regards to the construction and trim details. I'd like to get everyone's input and if you have examples please do post to this thread.
Here's what the front of the shop looked like during construction so you all have an idea of the overall building style.

Here is the side that the addition will go on. It'll run pretty much the whole length of the building but not all of it will be enclosed with walls.

Here are rough sketches showing my thoughts on the roof design.
Option 1:

This should be the easiest to construct as it only involves tying into the soffit and I can leave the fascia and gutter untouched. Down side is it does limit headroom on the addition and it's a pretty shallow slope.
Option 2:

This one give a little more slope but comes with complication of tying the new roof into the existing one.
Option 3:

From my sketches this looks the best and give me the highest pitch but comes at a cost of having to remove some of the existing roof shingles and tie in. It also requires the gutter to be removed and cut down/replaced in multiple sections.
Here is an example I found via my numerous searches.

If anyone has there own examples please post a picture. I'd be very interested in detailed pictures of the addition to roof connection as this trim detail is what has me the most stumped.
Thank you,
